New GitHub CEO has been in the job for a week and keeps tweeting about new GitHub features that have clearly been in development for ages. Cool that he's excited but there's no visibility for the engineers actually involved.

Imagine working on some feature for weeks, slogging away on code and working with product managers. And then some new CEO comes in and takes all the glory on Twitter.

It's the same when you see GitHub executives slapping their name on a blog post for stuff they probably weren't even involved in.

2 hours after posting these tweets, he started crediting engineers for their work and mentioning them. I'd hope it wasn't prompted by my tweets and was just being courteous, but who knows.

The blog post announcements are coming from the same people in the those groups doing that work as they were before Microsoft bought them. Prior CEO also talked about features he didn't write by hand himself. I don't really see what the complaint is.

Didn't mean to imply that this is a new phenomenon. I can tell you with complete confidence though that some of the features had nothing to do with the people who wrote the blog post.

I am an enterprise dev/sometimes team manager. I don't really see the issue. We all work on teams and have roles. My role isn't really to be a public face for the company. I code, I design, I lead, and when our work gets mentioned, sold, and used I'm happy.

Do it with the company account then. Executives taking credit is gross.

I'm not suggesting that's the way it should be, but that's definitely how it's worked in my 13 years in the industry.
